I'm not surprised at all. Venezuela is a major, major member of OPEC (the largest in the Western Hemisphere)...and would be more so if there weren't major problems going on there in the past two years greatly reduced production for a time.

I suspect that the cost of flying to Venezuela would nullify the savings in gas prices for quite a few years. I also doubt they have the same per capita income we enjoy here in the USA....so it's all relative.

Kerry is the most liberal US Senator in Washington, who has more of a sourpuss disposition than Lieberman.

He sucks the way he flips and then flops...which is why he will be defeated!
